Should I also provide you a source that will tell you Henry VIII was famously Protestant?

The first “Index of Forbidden Books”, banned for their heretical or ideologically dangerous content, was drawn up by order of Pope Paul IV and published in 1559 by the Sacred Congregation of the Roman Inquisition. The Sacred Inquisition acting as the zealous guardians of the Faith, executed their office with severity. Intellectuals were pursued vigorously for their acceptance of Protestant doctrines, or for heretic ideas. The most famous banned author is undoubtedly Galileo (1633). The objective of the lists were to protect the orthodoxy and ward of significant challenges to the teachings of the canonical texts. With the invention of the printing press in Europe in the middle of the 15th Century, the problem of control increased. As more books were written, copied and increasingly widely disseminated, subversive and heretical ideas were spread beyond control.
But also printers and booksellers faced the same dangers of persecution. In the late 16th century, a great number of Dutch printers chose to flee to Switzerland and Germany

1515 the Lateran council formulated the decree De Impressione Librorum, which required that no work should be printed without previous examination by the proper ecclesiastica’ authority, the penalty of unlicensed printing being excommunication of the culprit, and confiscation and destruction of the books.

Editions of the text of the Scriptures are permitted for purposes of study; translations of the Bible into the vulgar tongue have to be approved, while those published by non-Catholics are permitted for the use of scholars

Did I question that Henry VIII was a Protestant?

Also, what point are you trying to make by posting info about the Index?

I never denied the Index existed.
I never denied heretical translations of the Bible were on it.

So what do you think you’re accomplishing here when you are merely posting evidence of things I already stipulated?

How about actually proving any of your original points?

Show us from a reputable source that Tyndale was burned for the actual act of translating the Bible.

Can you do that or not?

If you can’t do that, well, then this debate was over - just as it was over before it began.
